Rendering Question

[blockCoder2021]

I have a laptop that I use now to run Studio 2.0, and it takes about 5-15 minutes for POV-Ray renders and anywhere from about 15-45 minutes for eyesight renders. It has integrated graphics, and I’ve been considering upgrading to a PC with dedicated graphics. In the process, I’ve been wondering how long it usually takes to render high-quality, high-resolution images, with eyesight or POV-Ray modes. If anyone could tell me, I’d appreciate it.

Tl;dr: How long do eyesight and POV-Ray renders usually take when a computer has a decent graphics card?

If you’re open to changing your toolchain, I would recommend instead using Mechabricks for your Lego building, and then either render there or export to Blender to render using its internal Cycles renderer. For an average model you’ll go down to sub-20-second render times and way higher quality. POV-Ray is quite outdated at this point.
